Assembly:
Using a yarn needle and contrasting color yarn, stitch a zig-zag type pattern up the torso. Sew the zipper pull at the top of this pattern, just under the head. Take a few random stitches around the edge of rnd 6 of head.
Use Black yarn to stitch on a mouth.
Place one arm on either side of body, at rnd 13, and sew securely in place. Use contrasting color yarn to take a few random stitches around the wrists
Place one leg on either side of body, near bottom, and sew securely in place. The half double crochet stitches simulate a knee, so take that into consideration when placing!
Your Little Pink (or whatever color you choose) Dude is complete!
